Why He Weeps
I’d heard stories of it. Retreat Road down in Cochrane, Alberta. They have a monastery there. Robes and everything. But their real claim to fame is the massive statue of Christ being crucified in the woods. I’ve been there a few times. Walked up the path with all the smaller statues beside the path. There was a baby, a group of people reaching towards Jesus, all those things, finally culminating in this 20-foot tall cross with Jesus hanging from it. What gets a lot of people though, is that Jesus is weeping on the cross. Nobody can seem to figure out why. Weeping is not the action of a Lord and Saviour.
Never.
Unthinkable.
I’ve been a few times during the day. It’s an interesting walk. Even for the Atheist like myself, it is still awe-inspiring. I happened to notice lights though, beneath all the statues. I asked around, and they do light the path up at night. I asked if I could come back then, but they told me the path would be closed. No one would tell me why.
Not one to follow rules, I returned that night, and made my way over the fence and onto the path. As I walked along the winding route to the large statue, I passed the smaller statues. They seemed different. It was the angle the light hit them. The statue of the baby … it’s eyes were all sunken in, and the shadows seemed to make its fingers end in claws. The statue of the people reaching towards Jesus, they looked dead, reaching towards Jesus with the shadows casting a look of horror on his face. Something about them really unsettled me, but it was on a deeper level than just what they depicted now. I reached the statue of Jesus and gazed up at his face. I stood there for what felt like hours, just wondering why he was weeping. What for? What cause?
I heard the whispers and rustling of the trees on all sides of me long before I saw anything. I gazed up at Jesus, looked deep into those stone eyes, and understood.
That night, he was weeping for me.

WHAT, Who was jesus???!
I was listening to “Life in a Glass House” when I read this, and… perhaps that’s why I found it so good. The ending of the song is very fitting weeping music. Man, screw them other peoples, this was a good pasta.
Good Pasta Clean And Simple.
Note to self: Stay in Calgary. Don’t do anything stupid while in Cochrane.
Meh.
Zombie Jesus seems to be in league with a Gorgon (what Medusa was), apparantley.
Good one. Perfectly balanced, without any unnecessary crap.
Fucking awesome. It reminds me of a legend where holy status would cry blood in the presence of demonic entities.
*Sigh.*
It’s really not that hard to understand. The statue of Jesus is beholding the damned, in a rather Dante-esque mannner. He’s weeping for the lost souls.
The reason it’s offensive to that one guy up there is because it suggests that unbelievers deserve Hell. Not sure what the motivation for the original post was, but it’s there.
I can only surmise that it ends with him becoming one of the statues.
I liked it for the psychological impact. It didn’t need a monster tearing out his trachea. But, then, maybe I just spend way too much time arguing with Fundies on the internet….
He was weeping cause he keeps having to see fuckers get eaten by monsters you ‘tards.
He was weeping because the bro was an atheist.
DAMN good.
Religion shouldnt have to do too much with this pasta – just read it, and love it. Sure, it has Jesus in it, buuuuut.. oh well?
To The Pale Apparition-
I am a strict atheist myself, but the mention of religious preferences should really have no effect on the story, especially when you mention the word repelling. Don’t tell me you’re one of those little 13-year old atheists who do so for the shock factor; no atheist I have encountered has claimed a story to be repelling over something so silly as that.
wow that was interesting
im an atheist and yet when i read this my heart started pounding
then the last line was like”BAM!” xD loved it
masturbating makes jesus cry!
Very good pasta.
Great detail.
Also, lovespastas, I believe he was weeping as the man was about to die or something.
I loved this one!!! great job. And for those who don’t get the ending, Jesus was weeping for the guy because he’s an atheist and his soul is doomed to reside in hell for eternity. At least that was my take on it.
The story as a story itself was relatively good, but for the fact of religious preferences mentioned… You see, I am a very strict Atheist myself, so that part was a little repelling for me personally.
But still, the story is… Good. 9/10
sometimes fate reaches out a cold hand to tap your shoulder.
I LOVE this one.
Well done.
♥
Jesus was Crying for the man because the man was an atheist crying for his everlasting soul and the imiages that he saw of the dead and so forth were the ones that people see of hell , It was a story of a Atheist having a god moment . That was what i got out of it
I though it was very good gave enough detail as to be entertaining but not so much you were getting lost in a sea of adjectives
I really like this one.
i really liked that one, like, a lot.
Love it! Love it love it love it! Delicious pasta!
Entirely satisfying. great work. 10/10
holy mother of pearl! :O
this is good pasta
and the open ending really gives the reader a chance to imagine what happens next
If you don’t think this is awesome, you are a moron.
Delicious pasta.
I shat holy brix.
Those who say the ending suck have a weak mind. You know very well that the ending had the perfect combination of vaguness and yet overall unevitability. You know what happens to him
You know why he weeps.
PS. BUT THEN WHO WAS DEMONS
“Weeping is not the action of a Lord and Saviour.”
Jesus wept.
There could have been a little resolution as to the protagonist’s fate, but I liked it. Even something like the next day finding him crucified next to Christ would have been good in my book.
